THE rROUBLE IN CoLU "A

tn Indian Threatened.
CoLUsA. April 22.-The Indiar
boy who was with the Sheriff
possee when the Chiuaman wa.
killed above Butte City. while in
the pursuit of Hong Di, Mrs
Billion : murderer, was In Coiusu
last night and rcports that the Chi
nese in that section have threatened
to kill ten white men for every
Chinaman killed. he says that
they have been watching him like a
hawk. Upon inquiry as to whether
/ he was prepared tn meet them or
not, be stated that he was, and that
unless they killed him at the first
shot he would seho another one of
their race to the happy land. 1t is
said that heils a peacable, unassum
ing and unoffensive boy, bus that
he can shoot a pistol with perfect
accuracy. having killed twelve tur-
keys without missing, at turkey
shooting some time ago, when the
parties in charge refused to allow
him to participate further.
The boy does not seem much
alarmed over the threats of the
Mongols, although he believes that
they will kill him if AN opportunity
is offered. thinking that he was the
one who fired the fatal shot. Judg-
ing from the rumors afloat, there
may be serious trouble in the Butte
City section within the next two
weeks over this affair, and unless
the Chinese desist in their lawless
acts Colusa county will be a very
unhealthy place for them. The
citizens are now awakened to a sense
of duty, enraged as they are over
the brutal murder Of Mrs. Billion,
thereby running the happiness ofan
entire family, and are prepared to
act In a moments notice upon not

the cause of Hong Dis escape; that
he has been aided by them in every
move sInce his crossing the river,
and when you ask a question of one
of them about one of them about
the matter, the answer is certain to
be. Me no sabe" Nothing has
been heard from him at Colusa, and

A Horse for HIS Feed.

On "Wednesday German came into
town leading horse which evidently
needed something TO eat. The poor
bgute's ribs We're very transparent on
account of the immense cavity within,
while its neck exceedingly lacked the
proud, naughty curve so much admir-
ed iii the equine race. His tail, too.
told the story of ahject poverty, as it
hung languishing between his legs
which needed stuffing from the pas
ture joint up. As we have said, this
animal needed something to eat, and
was taken to Burlhart & Bilyeu's star
ble where the inner-horse was to some
extent satisfied. The owner OF the
horse after partaking of his meal at the
Exchange hotel, went 10 the stable, or
dered the horse, and proceeded to travel
when he was reminded that there was
two-bits against the horse for his feed;
when he indignantly remarked J:
"There's the horse; take him. and
started of a-foot. The horse was
not in town Thursday morning and we
are Of opinion that BurkhaTt s Bilyeu
will get even ON this racket before we
give it away.

Organization of Precinct ProhibI-
tory Amendment Leagues.
HAlsey. On. Anril 18th. 1887


HALsEy, OR., April 18th, 1887.
EDITOR LEBANON EMPRESS: Friday
April meetings were held thoughout
thecounty at the various polling places
and organization of precinct leagues
was duly effected In accordance with a
simple form prepared and provided for
the purpose.
Albany, Lebanon, Halsey and many
other points made strong organizations.
In some precincts permanent organiza-
tion was deferred for various reasons to
an adjourned meeting.
The good work thus begun will be
vigorously prosecuted until all the pre-
cincts are organized and the several or
ganizations are made complete.
These leagues, let it be distinctly un-
derstood, and once for all, have but one
object in view, viz Campaign work in
the interest of the constitutional pro-
hibitory amendment
The broad basis on which they are
founded il citizenship. All persons
without any distinction, who are in
favor of the adoption of the amend
ment are eligible to membership, and
are welcome to place in the ranks of
our workers.
Political, religious and other differ
ances are put out Of sight as having no
place, and democrats, republicans and
other party people join hand in hand,
and march shoulder to shoulder, under
a common flag in this battle for the
home and right.
In order to secure the benefit of the
council of all our workers, and to estab-
lish more perfect bond of sympathy,
and secure the hearty co-operation of
all interests in this work, IL is proposed
to hold i'm the near future acounty con-
vention composed ofdelegates from the
various precinct leagues.
Friends of the amendment, come
promptly to the front and take hold of
this work with resolution that will
assure success. T. j. WILSON,
Member of State Board for Linn Co.

FORKS OF THE sANTlAm.

We have postoilice now at the
South Santiam r. r. station, and re-
ceive the benefit of a daily mail. 1t
will probably be known as Crabtree p.
o., as there are many persons by that
name whom it will accommodate. /
should think it would be a very good
idea for each postoffice to be named
after the station at which place it is To-
Gated.
Prohibition is now talked of great
deal. Here, like all other places, peo-
pie differ in opinion, and all are prob
ably honest in their belief. and / like
to see any one uphold an honest opin-
ion. But / will frankly suggest to
every voter in Oregon 10 weigh this
matter well before making final de
cision on such an important subject.
Some say choke liquor down with high
license; Others approve of putting a
penalty on the consumer, while an
other class favors prohibiting the man
ufacture oft altogether. /, as a single
individual, would say, cult making the
stuff, and there surely will be no drunk
enness. Some say they don't drink
much; and they don't believe little
does them any harm. But a small pig
isvery likely to make big hog. / am
like DIR. Ira Warren, when he was pre-
scribing for complaint of evil. He
said he could likely benefit the case to
some extent, but the surest plan would
be to abstain. We likely can benefit
the evil habit of drunkenness, but the
surest remedy is prohibition.

Beware. Boys.

Two window lights have recently
been broken in the public school build
ing by some one who seems to have a
mania for throwing stones, the stones
in each instance having been found in
side the building The public are, of
course, interested in seeing that this
property is taken care of, and any one
who is seen injuring it should be report
ed TO the proper authorities. The dam
age referred to was probably done by
some boy whose faculty for destruct-
iyeness is unduly developed. Some of
these bright youths may have the
pleasure of seeing their names in print,
much to the annoyance of their parents,
I if any more deviltry of this kind is re-
ported.

10. Before the Maine law our peo-
pie were shiltless, thriftless, poor now
they ars active, industrious, enterpris-
ing, thrifty, rich. The liquor traffic
earns nothing-its influence is to
waste the wages Of labor and to ruin
all who come under its influence.
II. The liquor traffic yet fingers
on a small scale, and more or less ON
the sly, in our larger towns and cities.
This is due only to certain defects in
the law, which are perfectly well
known to us, which we shall have
corrected by and by; we are working
for that now, Liquor will be sold here
and everywhere in violation of law, as
long as it is profitable to do 80. In
amending our law, as we shall do in
the near future, there is nothing re-
quired but such penalties Of fine and
imprisonment as will make it unprof-
table and uncomfortable to everybody
who shall persist in its violation; at
the same time providing for the
prompt, quick administration of its
reprools, with no power in the courts
to postpone trials or sentences, nor in
any way to diminish or soften the
punishment 1t must be so much
fine, and so much jail every time with

She Thought George Too Pre-
viOus.

From the Boston Budget
There is one prominent furniture
establishment in this city, the clerks
Of which were treated to an amusing
incident the other day. A couple
that had evidently made up their
minds to sail forth on the marital
ocean dropped in to select furniture.
The lady had evidently been deluded
into the idea that her prospective fell
low-voyager was possessed of some
ready means, therefore she was some
what taken aback when he inquired
as to how much money was required
to be paid down upon such bill of
goods and how favorable their terms
were in regard to the payment of the
remainder. Without waiting for the
salesman's comprehensive elucidtaion
of the firms liberal provision for such
contingencies she turned upon her
would-be lesser-half and, with voice
that sent chill into the very marrow
of his bones, said: "Look here
George, do you mean to say that you
have not the money to pay for this
furniture outright" George reluc
tantly admitted that his exchequel
was not sufficiently plethoric. "Ther
1 guess you had better wait awhile
for you will have no immediate need
of the furniture so far as | am con,
cerned," and she waltzed out OF the
store, leaving the crest-fallen target o
her indignation to his own sad
thoughts and the consolatory Offices
of the sympathetic salesman.
